Good luck. If you want this thread to be a diary-I can go along with that. I can tell you the ending though.

So here's the back story on everything. Starting a business is hard and nearly financially draining. Golf is up and down for me and my release is golf. When people tell me how bad I am and start, what I feel is attacking me, it really gets to me. I'm having a hard time with some stuff and I'm not here to get tons and tones of advice and critique. Some tips and stuff are great. When I say I'm trying something and someone is telling me I'm doing it wrong and such but it's working for me I don't see the problem. Anywho I'll give this site another try because the advice is good for reference. I'll keep this thread on topic and as a "diary" as Erik mention so here we go

Shot an 87 at morongo with 31 putts. Had my closest chance and a hole in one. Rolled back and missed the cup by about 6 inches so that was cool. Shot a 94 at rancho california in the wind and rain. Have my third tournament tomorrow at Pelican Hill South course. I'll keep my progress listed.

Nice to see you haven't disappeared.

PM me the information on your business, I think we might be up for something during Spring Break.

Kyle- Glad your back, but i don't think anyone was telling you how bad you were, it's was more to temper you're enthusiasm to be a scratch golfer when we all know how difficult it is to reach that level?

Good Luck bud. I don't know if you read above about the putting drills but I think they work well. I do about 20 putts one handed with each hand nothing outside of 15 feet. Then I throw a quarter down and putt at that instead of the hole for a while. It makes the hole look huge.

I actually did try the one handed putting drills and it is really helping with distance control

The 87's might be on a course he is real comfortable on. I can see the tourney pressure adding strokes. Also a new course could add a few more. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. In 2012 I had a 85 on a course is never played at that time that was my lowest score from the tips. So I can understand that some days it just goes good.

We cant really know without his feedback.-Im just waiting for his retelling, his 'Diary" entry so you say.

Good idea Erik. What's this Phil guy's problem? Kyle's life is not golf like your's is. He clearly said that scratch was not the immediate goal anymore. Maybe he doesn't have time to update this "diary" for some random golf teacher's muse, so quit harassing him to do so . . . your intentions to respond to his updates are irrelevant.
